Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Won't Fight Me April 13th; Should Be Embarrassed

[juggernaut666]

Its simple, Hearn offers Wilder a reasonable percentage split of say 35% and when Wilder doesn't accespt because he's either scared, greedy, or delusional to believe he should get 50% we all can agree that Wilder was the problem all along and move on.

The problem is Wilder DOES think he deserves 50 % .

I dont need to say it bc i can CONTINUE to post his OWN words way back 2017 which halted negotiations then continued onto 2018 for months .

Hearn is working off the AGREED 15 Million ( you guys WISH to ignore ) in a 2019 fight . Which is 30% of the FINKEL projected numbers .

Now unless Wilder does something to get a new negotiations offer is up to him . He avoids mandos , doesnt fight high profile guys , and i believe he will lose to Fury so theres that ?

I can tell you Hearn has no reason to budge if Wilder insists playing the 50 % game bc hes not necessary for Joshua wheather you guys will admit it or not .

What does Finkel saying that Wilder wasn't ready for that fight have to do with TODAY. Is Joshua saying he isn't ready? Nope. He is saying he KOs Wilder in 3.

It's like folks just want to win arguments so they sling mud and hope it sticks.

So Joshua didn't sign, but his representatives signed under power of attorney. Great. Not many people knew that Hearn had power of attorney and could execute contracts on Joshua's behalf. I guess that's not exactly common as Eubank Jr fight with Golovkin didnt fo over due to a lack of a signature by Eubank Jr. himself. That's cool...because it doesn't matter. The contract could be signed by the queen and it would still be exactly what it was before anyone signed...a **** contract.

That is correct he is saying that yet there is a bull#**** ( I can say it , it is) contract waiting for Wilders ink. Negotiations previously broke down but the narrative is Joshua is frightened.

I just found it amusing that just 3 years ago his own manager comes out and says this. I perused the comment section to see if I can find the usual suspects that have pledged their life to Wilder. No sign of them. To be honest I feel you are getting a bit emotionally involved it’s not that serious. Most of these guys I attack I would buy a drink if they were in my country it’s just banter. I like Wilder I just prefer Joshua more . I want them to fight. It’s boring when everyone in the forum agrees with each other. So let me apologise if that’s what you want to hear but know I will be back later to stir the pot😜

Wilder is the worst American heavyweight to ever win a world title belt.
Absolute garbage

And you UK fans wonder why we laugh at you.

Beat someone other than an old guy and a fat guy and then start mouthing off. How about you wait 18 more fights so Joshua can build a similar record to your own, ******!

The WBC is corrupt. Stiverne is not and never will be a top heavyweight.

How can you have AJ ranked number 1 but then in the next breath say he has never been near the 'top guys'?!

Here's the *****ing low down:

Wilder needs to suck it up and accept that he be brings very little to the table except that belt. Willing to fight Fury for a couple of million but turn down the AJ fight? - We all know exactly why that is!

Even if he lost he'd still have respect and become a PPV fighter, British fans aren't as fickle and will respect of people who come to fight: Parker, Brook, Khan Whyte, hell even Kessler back in the day... His exposure would become massive and if he fought in the UK he'd make more money as Brits love their boxing and it's not even the most popular sport here.

AJ/Hearn need to just ease up on that flat fee **** and offer him a % on the purse & PPV revenue.

Agreed.....

[OgTripleOg]

AJ gettin **** on almost every day with these articles. UK people hate it! lol!

Ali-Frazier I and Klitschko-Haye both had 50 - 50 split. Why, Keith Idec, do you persist in writing, "despite that Joshua would be the indisputable ‘A’ side of their fight in the UK." when other fighters of greater standing have fought for an even split? Are you, Keith Idec, in Eddie Hearn's pocket? Do you too fear that Deontay will KO AJ - perhaps resulting in crippling and career ending injury to AJ? Why else would you persist in writing, "despite that Joshua would be the indisputable ‘A’ side of their fight in the UK." unless this were the case? Furthermore, do you really believe once Wilder vs Fury takes place that anybody is going to care about AJ - let alone cling to, claims of being the 'A' side? One final question, Keith, during the build up to Ali-Frazier I, I never once heard of the 'A' side. Did you? So tell me why AJ is so important that his demands push aside those of Muhammad Ali, a boxing legend leagues ahead of AJ at any step of their respective careers.

You are nitpicking try not to let emotions and your opinion for a particular fight sway your argument. Let’s not consume ourselves with this happened because of this, the point, sorry fact and you can call it as flimsy as you want is that Joshua has faced Champions. Your feelings as to why is irrelevant. He has faced Previous champions too. In life some people get lucky breaks and others don’t . You make the most of what you have and don’t complain. Now You are entitled to your opinion as am I but when I say Joshua has fought Champions there shouldn’t really be an argument. Just like Wilder fought a champion to become the WBC champion. What I think of the champion at the time is immaterial

Nah...will never comment on emotion. I don't have any towards boxing. Now sports I actually played at university, definitely.

Never argued the facts. He did face champions. However, as I said, the why and the what it means moving forward is debatable. And if its not debatable, they should just shut the comment section down because what's the point of talking boxing without that debate. By your logic, Martin should carry as much weight as Joshua since they were both champions. No, we should not ignore the fact that Martin has lived in obscurity since he won the IBF by the fault (he was losing the fight) and then sold the belt to Hearn for Joshua, nor should we ignore the fact that Klitschko retired after his 2nd straight loss at the age of 41, nor should we ignore the fact that Parker has lost both fights where he didn't fight pillow fisted B level fighters. Its a factor when you consider who wins a match up. Its a factor when you formulate our top 10 all time or whatever list you're discussing with your mates.
